Security Forces Continue Campaign of Arrests against Suspects in Dahiyeh
Security forces have launched a campaign of arrests against wanted suspects in Dahiyeh, Beirut’s southern suburbs, a concerned source told As Safir newspaper in remarks published on Saturday.
It explained that the campaign, which was launched about a month ago, enjoys the support of Hizbullah, AMAL, and residents of the area.
It added that the campaign would not have been such a success had it not been for the “absolute political support shown by these three sides.”
All concerned political sides confirmed that they will not provide cover to any of the suspects, regardless of their political, party, or family ties.
It added that some suspects’ arrest “became such a necessity due to their complete disregard of all laws and even social norms.”
“The firmness demonstrated by the army in arresting the suspects has led to the arrest of several powerful figures who have tens of arrest warrants issued against them,” the source continued.
“This has even forced some individuals, who have committed minor crimes, to hand themselves willingly to the army’s Intelligence Directorate,” it revealed to As Safir.
“A great number of suspects are still at large and the army and security forces will not hesitate in arresting them,” it stressed.
